AFAIK, the Typhoon should win this. It supposedly has a much lower RCS, supercruise( with air-to-air loadout ), equal radars, and longer-ranged missiles( Meteor+AMRAAM combo ). The delta-canard should provide good maneuverability, but not as good as the Su 30's TVC.

However, the Tornados could prove a liability the Typhoons have to defend against the more powerful MKIs.
